JURY RETURNS MAXIMUM SENTENCE FOR TIAUNDRA CHRISTON
(Galveston Co. Jail)
A College Station woman has been sentenced to the maximum punishment in the death of her daughter.
TiAundra Christon was sentenced Monday to 20 years in prison after she was found guilty of placing her deceased daughter’s body in a Galveston County lake in 2018.
She was found guilty last week after the jury deliberated just 45 minutes on a charge of tampering with a human corpse. That same jury deliberated for less than an hour on the punishment.
Investigators said 1-year-old Hazana Anderson was beaten to death in a Houston motel room prior to being placed in the water by Christon and her boyfriend Kenny Hewett.
Hewett pleaded guilty to the same charge last year in Galveston County and received a 20-year sentence. Due to the plea, he can’t appeal the case, but he’s up for parole as early as this coming February.
